Abstract

A key tool of cancer therapy has been targeted inhibition of oncogene addicted pathways. However, efficacy has been limited by progressive emergence of resistance as transformed cells adapt. Here we use Drosophila to dissect response to targeted therapies. Treatment with a range of kinase inhibitors led to hyperactivation of overall cellular networks, resulting in emergent resistance and expression of stem cell markers including Sox2. Genetic and drug screens revealed that inhibitors of histone deacetylases, proteasome, and Hsp90 family of proteins restrained this network hyperactivation. These 'network brake' cocktails, used as adjuncts, prevented emergent resistance and promoted cell death at subtherapeutic doses. Our results highlight a general response of cells-transformed and normal-to targeted therapies that leads to resistance and toxicity. Pairing targeted therapeutics with subtherapeutic doses of broad acting 'network brake' drugs may provide a means of extending therapeutic utility while reducing whole body toxicity.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 71. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 August 2018.
All research outputs
#519,591
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Research
#312
of 18,389 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,118
of 330,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Research
#5
of 485 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 18,389 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,756 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 485 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
